Naples – Beyond football, another game was played yesterday at the Maradona Stadium: security. For the Napoli-Cagliari match, the Local Police deployed an extraordinary patrol system with 66 officers and two officials stationed along the access roads to the stadium and in the surrounding areas.
Seizures and fines on the sale of alcohol
The results speak for themselves: 365 beverages, including cans and glass bottles, were seized, sold in violation of the regulations prohibiting potentially dangerous containers near sporting events. Five seizures were made in total, with two fines issued to the vendors caught violating the municipal ordinance.
A flurry of fines for illegal parking
Great attention was also paid to traffic. Officers towed 62 vehicles parked illegally and issued 69 tickets for illegal parking, often in key areas that obstructed traffic and endangered pedestrian safety.
Crackdown on illegal parking attendants
There was no shortage of action to combat a chronic problem at football matches: illegal parking attendants . Seven people were caught demanding money from motorists: two were reported to the judicial authorities, while the other five received administrative fines.
Checks also on street vendors
During their operations, the Local Police also raided five mobile businesses. The checks uncovered violations due to the lack of permits required to install mobile structures and signs.
The security measures, implemented by the Police Headquarters and supported by the Municipality, confirm the city authorities' commitment to ensuring a safer environment around sporting events, which have always been sensitive not only to public order but also to urban decorum.

It's important to have checks during football matches because it maintains safety. However, sometimes I wonder whether alcohol seizures are truly effective, given that there are always problems with illegal parking attendants.
